Lily: With valley's best baby
food, you know you're giving
your child all the nutrition
that he needs and none of the
additives that he doesn'T.
I wouldn't think of giving my
baby anything but the best,
valley's best.

Director: Cut!

Miranda: Lily, that was
wonderful!

Lily: Thank you.

Director: One more time,
people.

Phyllis: Oh, but that was
perfect.

Director: Barbara, come in
tighter on the product, less on
mrs. Snyder.

Lily: Something I said?

Cameraperson: Of course not.
You look great.

Lily: Oh, thanks --

Miranda: You do look great.
Doesn't she, phyllis?

Phyllis: Oh, definitely.
You know you even look like
you've lost a little weight
since we first met.

Lily: Oh, a few pounds.

Faith: See you, mom.

Lily: Oh, faith, did you get
the book out of parker's room?

Faith: Yeah.

Lily: Okay, wait, wait, don't
leave.
There is somebody I want you to
meet.

Faith: I'm late --

Miranda: What a little doll.
Lily, she's all you.

Phyllis: Oh, I have an
incredible idea.
Why don't use you faith in the
commercial too?

Miranda: She could help feed
the baby.

Faith: I have to go.
I'm late.
I'll see you after school.

Margo: Gwen, it's
margo hughes again.
Would you call me back this
time?

Dallas: I got the labs on
that carjacking.

Margo: Great.
Thanks.
Do you think that people
actually just stare at their
caller id and don't pick up?

Gwen: No, maybe she didn't
need help, maddie.
Maybe adam was just unconscious
and he came to somehow, I don'T.

Maddie: No, adam is not
alive.

Gwen: How do you know?

Maddie: Because he wasn't
breathing.
Okay, he didn't have a pulse.
And when we came back here to
help you look for your ring, he
was cold in the ground, okay?
If he was going to regain
consciousness --
no.
No, I killed him.
I wish to hell that I hadn't,
but gwen, god, we know that he
is dead.

Gwen: Then what is going on?

Maddie: I told you.
It was jade.

Gwen: How would she even know
where to find grave?

Maddie: I don't know.
I don't know, it is the only
thing that makes sense in my
head right now, okay?
She -- she has been jealous of
you since day one.
And she just wants revenge.

Gwen: Oh, come on, maddie.
Why wouldn't she just go to
margo and tell her the truth?
Why go through all the trouble?
Why send me the ring?
Why make the phone calls?

Maddie: Because she is mean
and she is spiteful and she
wants us to suffer.
Doesn't you see that?

Gwen: Damn it, maddie!
Come on.
How many holes do we have to dig
before we give up and turn
ourselves in?
It's wrong.
It's been wrong from the
beginning, and we just keep
getting deeper and deeper --

Maddie: Well, then, fine,
fine.
We are going to go to jade and
we are going to ask her what she
knows for sure.

Gwen: Let's just go to margo
and we can tell her the truth.

Maddie: What are we going to
tell her?
That I murdered her son?

Gwen: It's the only way out
of this mess.
You know that.
You know that it's the right
thing to do.

Maddie: Oh, come on, gwen.
Wait a minute!

Margo: So, we're going to
find adam.

Casey: You still believe
that?

Margo: Yeah, it's my job to
believe that.

Casey: Well, the clock's
ticking, mom.

Margo: Yeah, I know.

Casey: You know, dad said
they could move my court date
up --

Margo: I know, I know, I
know.
He called here too.

Casey: So what are we going
to do?

Margo: We find your brother
before you have to face these
obstruction charges.
But still, it's just --
something's missing.

Casey: Yeah.
Adam.

Margo: No, no, no, he didn't
take off just because of the
obstruction thing.

Casey: Then why isn't he
here?

Margo: Because he's scared
because something happened
before he left.
I mean, it's something that
doesn't have anything to do with
you.

Casey: How do you know that?

Margo: Adam's your brother,
casey, he's always stuck up for
you.
Why?
Why would take off now when he
knows you're in such trouble?

Casey: We're not little kids
anymore?

Margo: No, because he's in
bigger trouble.
Jade came to see me.

Casey: And what did she want?

Margo: Well, she says that
something bad happened between
adam and gwen before he left.

Casey: Like what?

Margo: I don't know.
I don't know.
It's been no secret to anybody.
Everyone has said that adam's
interest in gwen was beyond
professional.

Lucinda: No, you are done,
dear.
Wrap it up, spielberg.
You're through here.

Paul: Excuse me miss.
Can I have the check, please?

Meg: I have your check.
And a perfectly good ham and
karen, it's okay.
I got it covered.
Please, stay and eat.
If there's one thing my mother
taught me it's not to waste good
food.

Paul: Give it to somebody
else.

Meg: Don't be like this.

Paul: Like what?

Meg: We're supposed to run
away every time we see each
other?

Paul: I'm not running.
So, what, you couldn't resist
another job in uniform?

Meg: I guess not.
Paul --

Paul: What?
What do you want?

Meg: I want us not to be
enemies.

Paul: We're not enemies.
I'm nothing to you.
You made that perfectly clear at
the farm, remember?

Meg: I thought you followed
me.

Paul: I didn't follow you.
And I didn't follow you here.

Meg: I know.

Paul: Look, I can't --
I can't do this.
I can't just pretend like we're
pals because that's what you
decided you want us to be.
That's not what I want, and you
know that.
Meg, you decided that we were
over.
We're over.
This is
the scrubbing bubbles lab,

Meg: I don't think it's
necessary that we stop speaking.
That's what angry people do.
And we're not angry.
At least I'm not.

Paul: No, no.
I'm not angry.
Go ahead, see craig.
I hope you do better than
rosanna did.
I hope you do better than
jennifer did.

Meg: Well, I'm glad to hear
you're not angry.

Paul: I'm trying.
Look, don't let your feelings
for me -- because I know you
still have them -- don't let
them get in the way of getting
what it is that you think you
want.
You want to be with craig, I
accept that.

Meg: Do you?

Paul: It's your life.
You have to live it.
But my life is and always will
be about you.
And when you decide that that's
what you want, you know where to
find me.

Lily: I'm sure my mother
needs no introduction.

Lucinda: Does emma know
what's happening here?

Phyllis: Lily's has done just
a wonderful job.

Lucinda: Ah, yes.
But, of what?

Miranda: Is there a problem,
ms. Walsh?

Lucinda: I do not recall
authorizing an ad campaign.

Lily: I did.

Lucinda: Did you happen to
speak to anyone, anyone in the
worldwide advertising
department?

Lily: Yes, of course.
I followed the lucinda walsh
handbook on this one.
Doug, could you set up for
another take?
I need to talk to my mother for
a minute.
Cindy, could you watch ethan
just for a moment?

Miranda: Maybe we should
reschedule.

Phyllis: Oh, no.
That's going to double costs.

Lucinda: Then why don't you
just fold up your tents and be
gone.
This won't take long.

Lily: On the porch.
Now.
Mother.

Lucinda: And for heaven's
sake, would somebody please wipe
the milk off of my grandson's
face?

Lily: Please!

[ Baby cries ]

Miranda: It's okay.
It's okay.

Lily: How dare you barge in
there like that.
I had this crew.
I hired them for half a day.
I flew the director in from new
york.

Lucinda: No, dear.
Apparently, I did it.

Lily: I'm not going to let
you go back in there and
embarrass me in front of those
people again.
I'm in charge of this product.

Lucinda: Even though I told
you right from the beginning.
Day one, I said this is a
non-starter.

Lily: Sometimes, you're
wrong.

Lucinda: That doesn't mean
you'll make an end run around
me, dear.
You talked to me openly about
your determination to go on.

Lily: I tried that.
It didn't work.
I had to go another way.

Lucinda: And you used
corporate funds.
Corporate funds, darling,
without authorization.
That is not the way we do it at
worldwide.

Lily: No.
No, worldwide is run like a
guillotine.
You sit there and you decide
which product lives and dies,
roll in the meantime.

Lucinda: And my stockholders
have not found much to complain
about.

Lily: When valley's best
boosts profits, they'll have me
to thank for it.
And I'm going to be honest with
you, mother.
I did not use worldwide funds
for this ad.
I financed the commercial
myself.

Lucinda: Oh, no.
No, you didn'T.
You didn't use personal money.

Lily: Yes, I did.

Lucinda: And now your face is
on the camera.
You're out there --

Lily: Well, obviously.
Yes.

Lucinda: Don't you realize?
I mean, the risks inherent --

Lily: People need to be able
to relate to a product.
That's how it works.
Now, if you have nothing
positive to say, I need you to
leave.
I have to go back to work.

Holden: Hi.

Lucinda: Hi.

Holden: What's going on?

Lucinda: I'm going in there
to try to stop your wife from
falling flat on her face.

Holden: You know what?
It's her face.
And it's her job.
And I think it's time you
respect that.

Emily: Well, I think I'm the
only blond in the room.
Maybe that's because the hotel
bar isn't very crowded right
now.

Man: I realize you girls
usually work nights.
But, I had some time to kill
between meetings.

Emily: Really?
So, it was either a conditioning
class in the fitness center or
me?

Man: Something like that.

Emily: Oh, don't worry.
I promise I will give you an
excellent workout.

Susan: Emily?

Emily: Mom?
What are you doing here?
Why aren't you at work?

Susan: I am at work.
There's an oncology seminar in
one of the conference rooms.
Thought I'd have a little coffee
first.

Emily: Oh, well why don't we
have coffee together?
Why don't we have breakfast
together?
Here, sit down and order me
something.
I'll have another cup of coffee.
So sorry about that.
Did cheri tell you --
why don't you give me your key,
and I'll meet you up there in,
like, five minutes.
Thank you.
You're a doll.
I don't keep you waiting.
So, what are you doing here
again?

Susan: Oncology seminar.

Emily: Oh.

Susan: I'm much more
interested in what you're doing
here, emily.

Emily: I'm having a cup of
coffee, just like you.
Caffeine.
Before I go to worldwide.
I mean, worldwide has -- they
have a coffee bar there, but it
is the worst coffee you have
ever had in you entire life.
And you'd think that lucinda
walsh of all people would
have --

Susan: Who was that man that
you hustled me away from at warp
speed?
The one you were promising to
give a good workout?
And what the hell did that mean?

Maddie: Gwen, stop.
Think about it.

Gwen: No, it's all that I
think about.

Maddie: If you go and tell
margo, it's going to be the
worst mistake of our lives.

Gwen: We have already made
the worst mistake of our lives.

&gtñ Maddie: Okay.
All right, go ahead.
Go, you put it out there.
And then you can kiss college
good-bye.
And then you're going to be
singing about the prison
walls --

Gwen: Hey, are you trying to
be funny?

Maddie: No, I'm not.
Okay?
But, don't you understand that i
am trying to make myself feel a
little bit normal and crack a
joke.

Gwen: It's not working.

Maddie: I know.
Okay.
All right, fine.
You go to the police, what are
you going to say to them?

Gwen: We tell them it was an
accident.
That you were trying to keep
adam from hurting me.
That you hit him, you didn't
mean to kill him, maddie.
It's all true.

Maddie: Right.
And maybe they'll believe that,
but they're not going to
understand why we buried him and
then lied about it for days.
Okay?
And I can't wait to see the
headlines when they say, "the
sister of the raven league
slasher has followed in her
footsteps."

Gwen: You didn't kill him
intentionally.
You were just trying to protect
me.

Maddie: Yeah, and I still
can.
We need to start by figuring out
why jade is snooping.
We need to stop her.

Gwen: Maddie, if there's even
the smallest chance that adam is
still alive, his family should
know.

Maddie: Will is his family.
Are you ready to tell him?

Gwen: Yes.
It's better than living with
this secret between us.

Maddie: No, it's not.
No, it's not.
I killed his brother, and you
helped me put him in the ground.
Will's going to say that he
understands.
But, will he really?
It'll tear you guys apart.
Secrets can be forgotten, but
the truth can ruin your life.

Gwen: Maddie, nobody is going
to forget about this.
Margo and tom are never going to
stop looking for their son.
And one day the police will have
proof.

Maddie: Not if they don't
find a body.
Gwen, you tell margo, after all
of this time, she's going to
crucify us.

Gwen: I hope you're wrong.

Margo: Wrong about what?
What are ya doin'?

Meg: Hey.
Forget it, it's on the house.

Paul: No, I'll just wait for
the cashier.

Meg: Okay, I get it.
We'll take turns walking out
when we see each other.

Casey: Problem is, I don't
really have a sec.
I'm kind of in a hurry.
What's the deal?

Holden: If wrong, how much
does it cost the company?

Lucinda: It's not the money.

Holden: Ego?

Lucinda: Oh, ego.
Darling, it's people.
Okay?
It's the people.
It's all the people.
The small investors, the pension
fund investors who believe and
who have faith in worldwide
stock.
It's the moms and the pops.
They're hoping that their
college funds for their kids
will grow.
It's all the people who are
expecting worldwide to make a
better life for them.
Ego.
That's why I can't have a
fiasco, okay?

Holden: But you've had
setbacks before, right?

Lucinda: I know, stuff
happens.
However if there is bleeding,
you try to staunch it.

Holden: What if lily's right
about this project?

Lucinda: Then, she can go
ahead with it.
With a clear head.
But she's not clear.
She's shaky, she's weird.
Now, you know that as well as I
do.
She's angry, she desperate -- I
don't know.

Holden: She's under a lot of
pressure.

Lucinda: I understand that.
But she has to find a different
battleground to prove whatever
it is she wants to prove about
herself.

Holden: You want to know what
she's out to prove?
That she's not a failure.

Lucinda: Of course, she's not
a failure.

Holden: Look, things are kind
of rough at home.

Lucinda: Oh.
With faith?

Holden: Yes.

Lucinda: What does her
therapist say?

Holden: She has an eating
disorder.
It's going to take some time.

Lucinda: I'm so sorry.

Holden: Lily and I -- we feel
like we've let the kids down.
And the mistakes --
they're just adding up.

Lucinda: Oh, but darling,
think of all of the good things,
the wonderful things, that
you've done for your children.
You've taught them that love can
get you through almost anything.
Faith is going to pull through.

Holden: I hope you're right.
Can I ask you a favor?

Lucinda: Of course.

Holden: Just put a little
extra trust in your daughter.
She really believes in this
project.
Don't take it away from her.
Think about that.
I have to get faith to school.

Emily: I'm sorry -- what are
you implying?
Because I don't like what I
think I'm hearing.

Susan: Oh, come on, emily.
You came home the other night
black and blue, all because you
tried to hook up with some guy

Emily: You're incredible.
You really are.
I'm sitting there having a
perfectly normal conversation
with a guy--
for your information, that man
is somebody that I was
interviewing for "the intruder."
He's a karate instructor.

Susan: A karate instructor?

Emily: Yes.

Susan: Ha!

Emily: I'm doing a series of
stories on self-defense.
Do you remember the girl who was
mugged a few weeks ago at
oakdale U.?

Susan: Yeah.

Emily: Right.
Well, after that happened, I
decided to take a class.
And then I took three more
classes, and then I asked the
man if I could interview him for
my paper.
Does that answer your question?

Susan: Emily, you said you'd
give him "a good workout."

Emily: Well, I was talking
about the class.
I will give his class a good
workout, mom.

Susan: Okay, okay.
I'm sorry.

Emily: Okay.

Susan: When you were
attacked, I got really scared.
I guess I'm not over it.

Emily: I know.
It's okay.
You're worried.
You're my mom.

Susan: And I'm worried about
your sister.
I haven't heard from her since
she broke up with aaron.

Emily: What?
They broke up?
When?

Susan: Before christmas.
Oh, she told me not to tell
you --

Emily: Wait, forget it.
What happened?

Susan: You think I know?
Every time I tried to talk to
her about it, she just shut
down.
And then, right after new
year's, she moved from seattle
right down to L.A.

Emily: To do what?

Susan: The last time I spoke
to her, she was waitressing.
She kept saying it was, you
know, temporary while she looked
for something else.

Emily: Oh.
Oh, poor ali.

Susan: I know.
She's way too young to be
galloping off to some city
like L.A., Where she doesn't
know a single soul.

Emily: Oh.
Some sister I've been.
Her whole life has changed and i
didn't even know about it.
I gotta call her.

Susan: Yeah, well, good luck.
She's not there very much.
Ooh!
Oh.
Look at that.
I'm late for that seminar.

Emily: Okay.
All right, good luck.
Good luck with your seminar,
mom.

Susan: Okay.
I know how hard you're working,
trying to get your life back
together and I'm proud of you.
I really am.

Paul: Are there any other
snyders that you want to tell me
about, hiding somewhere?

Holden: Is there a problem?

Paul: No, I was just leaving.

Holden: I need to talk to
you.

Paul: I'll wait for you
outside.

Meg: It's cold.

Paul: It's cold in here.

Holden: I won't be long.

Meg: Holden, I'm really busy.

Holden: Take a break.

Meg: I can'T.
I was late coming in.

Holden: What happened with
paul?
Was he bothering you?

Meg: No comment.

Holden: Do you want me to
talk to him?

Meg: No.
No.

Holden: Things seemed a
little tense, meg.
I thought it was over between
you two.

Meg: Yeah, me, too.
Looks like I'm not good at
letting go, even after I've let
go.

Holden: Anything I can do?

Meg: You could give me some
news.
Good news.
Got any?

Holden: Mama is coming home.

Meg: I said good.
When?

Holden: How does tomorrow
grab you?

Meg: Tomorrow?
This day just keeps getting
better.

Miranda: I think your last
take was your best.

Lily: I can't wait to see it
all put together.

Phyllis: The agency is
proofing the latest print
material, and they're going to
send it over to our offices.

Lily: Excellent.
I have some promotional concepts
I wanted to run by you two.

Miranda: Well, let's do it.

Phyllis: Have either of you
seen "oakdale now"?

Miranda: The new show on
woak?

Phyllis: Yeah, with that
gorgeous guy?

Miranda: Isn't he supposed to
your cousin or something?

Lily: He's holden's cousin,
but I could talk to kim and
maybe you could go on and talk
about the product.
So which one of you wants to be
the star, or do you want to go
on together?

Miranda: I think you should
do it.

Phyllis me, too.
You were a natural in the
commercial.
Unless you don't want to.

Lily: No, no, I would love to
do that.
You know me, I can't wait to
tell the world about this
product.
And I thought maybe we could
start a gift basket program with
baby supplies and some baby
food.
Go to memorial hospital and
pediatricians' offices and start
building customer loyalty early.

Phyllis: That's a great idea.

Lily: How about handing out
some baskets, too?
Maybe going to some
supermarkets, and having some
sales reps handing out
literature and sample jars.
If that's okay with you?

Lucinda: I like what I've
heard, so far.

Lily: Really?
It might go to my head.

Miranda: We'll send over the
preliminary artwork for the
print ads, then talk tomorrow
about the rest of the
promotions.

Lily: Great.

P.A.: Good job, mrs. Snydern
we're almost out of your way.

Lily: Oh, thank you so much.

Tech: We're about done
breaking down the equipment.

Lily: Oh, you don't have to
rush.
It's okay.

Phyllis: And we'll get you
all the material as soon as we
can.

Lily: Thank you.

Phyllis: Bye, ms. Walsh.

Lucinda: Good luck.

Miranda: We don't need luck,
we've got lily.

Lily: Thank you, miranda.

Lucinda: Ethan really likes
this stuff?

Lily: He loves it.

Lucinda: Oh.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

[ Lucinda chuckles ]

Lucinda: He's a one-man focus
group.
Not a bad start.

Lily: Careful, that's
sounding like a compliment.

Lucinda: Well, I'm afraid
you're not going to hear many
more compliments from me.

Lily: Why?

Lucinda: I've been talking to
sierra, and we miss each other.
So I'm going to go visit.

Lily: When did this come up?

Lucinda: Darling, I don't run
all my plans by you, either.

Lily: It just seems very
sudden, is all.

Lucinda: I need a vacation.
And I think that you could use a
vacation from men

Lily: You're leaving because
of me?

Lucinda: No, I miss your
sister.
Perfect timing.

Lily: Thank you, mother.

Lucinda: Please, dear, please
use this time wisely to prove me
wrong.

Lily: I'd be glad to.

Lucinda: Okay.
And I'll call you before I
leave.

Lily: Please.

Lucinda: All right?

Lily: Definitely do that.

Lucinda: And I do love you.

Lily: I love you, too.

Lucinda: Oh --
it isn't easy, is it?

Lily: Who are you telling?
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, hey.

Margo: I know that last thing
you want to talk about right now
is adam.
And I know why.

Maddie: If it's what jade
said --

Gwen: Maddie, let her finish.

Margo: Jade simply confirmed
my suspicions.
I know that a lot more went on
between you and adam that you
told me about.
But gwen, I need you to be
completely honest with me.

Gwen: Well, we were going to
go the station.
Maddie and I were just talking
about it this morning.

Maddie: You know, let me
explain.

Gwen: No.

Margo: You?
Why you?

Maddie: Because I was there
when it happened.

Margo: You were?

Gwen: Honestly, I think it's
better if I tell her.
It's just -- it's just I --
oh, well, I don't really know
where to start.

Margo: Yeah, I guess it can't
be easy, telling a guy's mother
about something like this.

Gwen: No, it's not.
I am so sorry, margo.
I just -- please understand, I
never wanted it to get this out
of hand.

Margo: No, no, no, you have
nothing to be sorry about.
Gwen, please --
all I need is I need to hear it
from you.
Did adam assault you sexually?

Gwen: Did he --

Margo: Everything you say to
me will be held in strictest
confidence.
Please.

Gwen: No, we're not talking
about rape here.

Margo: Well, jade said that
it got pretty rough.

Maddie: Well, they were
arguing.
Adam was pushing her around.

Gwen: It didn't go any
further than that, though.

Margo: Are you sure?
You're absolutely sure?
Because, honey, things like
this, sometimes they just spiral
out of control.
You start to blame yourself and
you bribe your friends to keep
it a secret because you're
scared and because you're
confused.
And in the end -- and maddie,
you can attest to this --
you're never going to get the
help you need if you can't face
the truth.

Gwen: Margo, the truth is is
that adam never forced himself
on me.
I mean, it stopped before
anything like that could ever
happen.

Margo: That's great.
That's so good.
Thank you.
I just didn't want to believe
it, I really didn'T.
But everything that jade was
saying, but there was a voice
inside my head that said that
adam, that he would never do
that.
He would never leave casey like
that to take the blame.
He had to be running from
something, something more than
obstruction of justice.
So please, too, would you make
me a promise please?

Maddie: Sure, anything.

Margo: Gwen, if adam does
contact you here, would you
please tell him to come home?
He hasn't done anything so bad
that it can't be fixed.

Maddie: We will.

Margo: Okay.
All right, I'm going to get back
to the station now.

Maddie: I'll walk you out.

Margo: All right.
Gwen, I'm so glad that my
suspicions were affirmed with
adam.
But what he did to you, that
wasn't right.
I'll be in touch.

Maddie: My god, I was so
scared out of my mind.
But I think we're okay.

Gwen: How do you figure?

Maddie: Because margo is not
going in the right direction.

Gwen: But jade knows a lot
more than margo.
Things that she hasn't told her.
Maddie, I can't do this anymore.
I can't stand it, seeing the
hell that she's going through.
I can't lie to her anymore.

Maddie: Okay, then we need to
find out what jade knows.

Gwen: What does it matter?!
It doesn't change what's
happened!

Maddie: We cannot talk now.
Okay?
It's going to ruin so many
people's lives.
You will lose will.
And I will lose casey.
So please, please just wait
until we find out what jade
knows.

Gwen: How?

Maddie: Don't ask unless you
really want to know.

Ahh, breakfast.

Holden: Can't you take a
break?

Meg: We're short-staffed.

Holden: Just a second.

Meg: There you go.
You're the special.
You're the tuna melt.
And iced tea coming right up.
Okay, look, you told me about
mama.
Karen, can you see how backed up
they are in the kitchen?

Holden: Listen, I know you're
very worried about everything
that happened since mama's been
gone.
But maybe she'll take it all in
stride.

Meg: Yeah, and maybe I'll win
the lottery.

Holden: You know what?
You need to stay positive.

Meg: I know mama, holden.
She hasn't called me, she hasn't
written.
Usually, she's storing it all up
inside so she can let me have it
when she sees me.

Holden: No, no, no, no.
She doesn't know what happened
at the hospital.
